RyeUnlike bourbon, rye whiskey can be made anywhere in the world. But if made in the US, the mash bill recipe must be at least 51% rye and it must be aged in new, charred oak barrels with no age requirement. Elsewhere, the rye whiskey will be made keeping the country of origin's rules regarding the recipe and minimum aging.

Tasting Notes
"Heady aromas of fresh green apples, sweet spring herbs, and vanilla caramels fill the nose. The palate is dense, yet individual flavors from the nose present individually, backed up by apple mint jelly, rich toasted rye bread, baking spices, thyme, and tarragon. A rich layer of creamy vanilla coats the palate and carries the other flavors into a long finish. "
